obama asked mr. romney to play an important role going forward, even the president has acknowledged romney's skill in making things, like the olympics, run better. but the track record for post election pow wows is not exactly good. after the 2008 election, mccain and obama met and vowed to work together on economic issues and look at them now. they're not exactly best buds. just say the word benghazi, and ooh, watch the sparks fly. still, it could be a win-win for both men. for obama, a chance to show a bipartisan spirit, and for romney, a chance to rehabilitate his image after being excoriated by both democrats and republicans for saying americans who voted for obama wanted free stuff. so the "talk back" question today. what should come of the obama-romney lunch i don't know. facebook.com/carolcnn. your comments later this hour. s. ... what should we invest in? maybe new buildings? what about updated equipment? they can help, but recent research shows... ... nothing transforms schools like investin

awe tack barack obama campaigning from a campaign rally. he's at a campaign rally while he's attacking him. i think what he did, the height of being despicable. the president was there, the first few days, went out to new jersey with the governor. the mayor thought it would strain resources to have the mayor come to new york. i think he did his job, and everyone knows when you are president of the united states, the presidency moves with the president. he can sit on the airplane, sit on his car, walk off an event stage and do whatever he needs to do to take care of whatever he needs to take care of. and janet napolitano, the homeland security director was actually in staten island today. so they are doing their job. and rudy was so far out of line. >> michael, who is going to win this election? >> barack obama, and he's going to win it because of the last several days. let's put aside what's right or wrong or who is going to solve the problem of getting my power back, but he -- he was a remarkable moment in this campaign for barack obama to

the polls are very close here between president obama and mitt romney, and when you look at the obama strategy, clearly ohio is playing a bigger role than florida is, though obviously the hope is to keep florida is president obama's column. the message is his closing messag message, that he will be saying to these people here, you may be frustrated with the pace of change, but stick with me, you know we're going to the right direction. my economic policies are working, and you know what you're going to get with me, not so much with mitt romney. i can tell you this is a very enthusiastic crowd. we've been traveling where the president has been going for the last few days, and i can tell just that this is a crowd that already is very excited. and also i'm sure it doesn't help -- it's beautiful here, 82 degrees and sunny. we've seen people, and there's some people behind the camera that you can't see, they've been doing the wave, they've been yelling four more years, and it's still hours before president obama will be here, fred. >> is there any indication there that the crowd is made up
